Poor Mimi

And somewhere, Taryn Manning is not shaving her head, not getting sh'faced with Paris and Lindsay, and not being photographed sans panties.

And she was really quite good in Hustle and Flow, too.

Was I the only one who didn't think Mimi looked that pregnant though?  At least not till towards the end of the film, early on I couldn't really see anything indicating she was except characters saying it and when the guy yelled at the bar "Hey, she's pregnant!" or whatever I was wondering how he could allegedly tell from that far away when it looked like she was at most a couple months

Which is probably why we do not get the scene where the long lost mother (played by Kim Catrall) tells her she never wanted her. They knew Britney was incapable of acting in such a dramatic confrontation, so they skip that revelation and cut to the aftermath when the waterworks are already in full force. This pretty much sums up the film.

I found the idea of that scene really bizarre...  The mother has 2 other children now, lives in a large house in white suburbia, I imagine well past most possible postpartum depression stages, but she tells her 18 year old daughter that's driven cross country that she still doesn't want anything to do with her?  Maybe I'm too young to understand this scene?  Maybe I'm too stupid to even watch Crossroads?

at the risk of sounding mean, it WAS brittany do you want her?

I can relate.  My dad lives basically down the street from me and he told me the same thing at that age, when I hadn't seen him 12 years (I was more or less inviting him to my high school graduation because I thought I should).  I think living down the street is worse than cross country.  He has 3 kids and a wife, big house.

Man, I can relate to Britney Spears? That's it.  I'm shaving my head!

well first you have to hook up with a wanna be gangsta rapper.

I wonder if I can take an ad out on Craig's List for that type of thing.   I guess I have to spend an hour or so in rehab too.  This being Britney Spears is harder than I expected.

course to do the thing proper i spose you should make some crummy pop music and some music videos that show you scantily clad and provocative and yet still claim that your a virgin and what not.

I guess that shows me for doubting the possibility of anything.... Sorry to hear that.... both of those....  Could be worse on the Britney Spears thing though, the story could have been written about you.

Seems to be trendy, but only if you then turn around and become a complete ho, and then re-reverse yourself
